About the book: 2020 / Rural district police officer Vasily Kaganov goes to work in the village of Kuchkino, hidden in the dense forests of Tver. It’s 200 km to Moscow, 20 km to the regional center, civilization is nearby, but... it’s not that simple. Live here, in the forests, those who remained from previous epic times, those about whom people read in folk tales. And of course - those in whom a normal civilized person does not believe. But whether you believe or not, there is something in the world that is completely independent of your faith. And soon Vasily will be convinced of this. Will he remain on the light side, becoming a sorcerer, slide into the Darkness, or will he continue to balance on the border of Light and Darkness - time will tell
